Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Friday that the team could give the newly acquired Aaron Crow a chance to start.

Crow has pitched exclusively in relief in the majors, but he came up through the minors as a starter. Ultimately, the Marlins are just keeping their options open and Crow seems likely to remain a reliever. "We know he has started," said Hill. "It’s still early in the offseason and we’re not sure how the rest of the offseason will unfold in terms of what else we add to our pitching staff, but we love the flexibility. We love the thought he could possibly be a starting option for us, but at a minimum we know he’ll be a valuable bullpen piece and just add to the overall depth of our staff."

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal first reported the deal, and it's now been made official. Crow was an All-Star in his rookie season back in 2011, but his stuff and results have declined steadily since then. He held a 4.12 ERA with just 34 strikeouts over 59 innings in 2014 and could have been facing a non-tender this winter with another raise via arbitration coming. The Marlins will hope the 28-year-old can rediscover his stuff in the National League. Fri, Nov 28, 2014 12:20:00 PM

Aaron Crow earned a rare save in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

With Wade Davis and Greg Holland having pitched on each of the previous three days, Crow got the call to protect the Royals' one-run lead. He responded by disposing of the bottom of the Rangers' order with little consternation, with only a Rougned Odor single allowed in the inning. The save was Crow's third of the season, but he's not a source for more than the occasional opportunity when both Holland and Davis are indisposed. Tue, Sep 2, 2014 11:12:00 PM

Fernandez isn't throwing those pitches at full effort yet, but he's getting there. The 22-year-old right-hander has not experienced any setbacks in his recovery from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and is currently on track to join the Marlins' rotation around mid-to-late June. He boasts a 2.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 10.3 K/9 in 224 1/3 career major league innings.
